摘要: 半胱天冬氨酸酶(caspase)普遍存在于真核生物,在细胞凋亡中具有重要作用,广泛参与胚胎发育、炎症反应、器官发生、变态过程及自稳态维持等多种生理过程。caspase级联反应将细胞外信号传递到细胞内,水解底物蛋白或激活转录因子发挥作用。目前,细胞凋亡通路在哺乳动物的作用机制已有大量的报道,但对水生无脊椎的研究相对较少。综述caspase细胞凋亡通路及其在水生无脊椎动物的研究进展。

Abstract: Caspases exist in all eukaryotic cells and play important a role in cell apoptosis. They are widely involved in embryonic development, inflammation, organogenesis, metamorphosis, homeostasis and other physiological processes. Caspases transduce signals from outside to the cytoplasm or nucleus by a conserved caspase cascade, hydrolyzing intracellular substrate proteins or activating transcription factors to regulate physiological processes. Currently, most of the knowledge about the mechanisms of the caspase -apoptosis pathway focuses on the mammalian system. So far, basic knowledge of the caspase -apoptosis pathway in aquatic invertebrates is limited. In this article, combined data collected in our laboratory, we reviewed the research advance on caspase-apoptosis pathway in aquatic invertebrates to date.
